]]> http://www.raleighpoledancing.com/classes/ladies-its-time-for-a-teaser/feed/ 0 http://www.raleighpoledancing.com/events/meetupcom-event-hosted-by-aradia-fitness/ http://www.raleighpoledancing.com/events/meetupcom-event-hosted-by-aradia-fitness/#comments Sat, 07 Mar 2009 06:27:24 +0000 aradia http://www.raleighpoledancing.com/?p=37 I recently stumbled across a new social networking website called Meetup.com.  Now this website isn’t your typical social networking page, like MySpace or Facebook.  In those sites, the focus is on the individual user and they are often associated with stigmas like popularity contests or online drama.  (Granted we love both sites… but hey, we’ve all had our fair share of internet theatrics.)

The refreshing thing about Meetup.com is that instead of focusing on the individual, this site focuses on the groups.  Meetup allows its members to search for groups that are unified by a common interest (ie: cooking or small dogs).  All you have to do is provide your zip code and topic/hobby of interest… and voila! Meetup leads you to other people in your area who have created such a group.

Anywho.  A friend had mentioned it in passing and being the internet junky I am, I took a few minutes one evening to peruse the site.  I’m actually a newlywed (aw!) and I often joke to people I meet that my culinary skills don’t extend past Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.  Little do they know I’m not really exaggerating too much!  So I clicked around the site and quickly found a popular cooking group.  It had a ton of members and they create numerous events every month for getting together to share recipes & eat.

Then as I was looking around, I see two popular topics of interest are “Women’s Social” and “Fitness”.  I instantly knew that Aradia Fitness would perfect for Meetup.com!  I ran the idea by our studio owner and she was just as excited as I was.

So a few days later I created the Cary Pole Dancing & Sensual Fitness meetup group.  Within a week the membership hit over 60 ladies and the feedback was fantastic.  Pole dancing for fitness is a popular idea yet too many ladies never know where to go to try it out.

So yesterday evening (Friday March 6) we held our first Meetup event at the studio and it was a huge hit!

We had 15 ladies come to the studio at 630pm.  Everyone munched on light snacks for thirty minutes and got to meet the other ladies in the group.  We had numerous ladies that live around town and then several traveled from as far as Clayton, Sanford, and Fayetville for a fun & flirty evening out!

At 700pm we kicked things off and took the ladies through one of our most popular events – the signature Aradia Fitness Party.  The ladies first experienced our sexy warm-up & floor exercises… they were surprised and delighted about what a great workout that was!  Then of course, it was time to hit to poles!

By 830pm, our vivacious ladies were twirling and sliding on the pole.  They loved our sexy pole routine and couldn’t believe that they were able to perform tricks like the Fireman Spin.  However, we breakall the moves down into easy to follow steps enabling our ladies to master the art form slowly and safely!

Myself and the other instructors had a blast and loved the vivacious & diverse group we got to spend the evening with!  All the ladies did a fantastic job and looked amazing as they performed our routine.

With a successful first event under our belt, Aradia Fitness is planning to host a monthly Meetup at the studio.  If you are looking for a fun evening out and a unique way to meet other interesting and inspiring women in the area, check out our Meetup page, join the group and come out to the next event.  We’d love to have you!

Are you ready to Meet Your Sexy Side?!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with ZSpotlight, it is a fantastic entertainment guide for the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, etc) which provides up-to-date event information to all the ZSpotlight members. With over 18,000 members ZSpotlight was a natural choice for us at Aradia Fitness. Keep an eye out for the ZSpotlight printed entertainment guides strategically located among popular restaurants and businesses. You may even come across one of their energetic photographers who candidly and not-so-candidly snap your photo when you are out & about.

One of the really cool benefits of being a ZSpotlight member, besides being in the “know” for all the hip events, is that you will have access to fantastic savings from ZSpotlight businesses. Their biggest seller – the Half-Off Coupon.

For example. You can purchase a $50 gift certificate to your favorite restaurant for only $25. No catch, no tricks… you spend $25 and then you a gift certificate valued at $50. Cool, eh?

The great thing is that the businesses offer coupons valued at a certain amount of their choosing and the coupon sales actually go towards the advertising expenses. So ZSpotlight gets its advertisement fees and the businesses gets a few extra happy hitters walking through their door.

Ah, so now you are wondering how all this ties into you… the pole dancing for fitness enthusiast? Once you are a registered ZSpotlight member, you can purchase Half-Off coupons to use towards a variety of Aradia Fitness classes! We offer the following coupons:

(1) $15 Off Any Teaser Class… you pay $7.50!

(2) $40 Off Any 4-Week Session… you pay $20!

(3) $100 Off Any Aradia Fitness Party… you pay $50!

Even more, ZSpotlight members can purchase a yearly discount VIP card called the ZSpot Card. You flash this baby blue when you are out on the town and find yourself getting more extra savings! Aradia Fitness will offer $5 Off (any Teaser class or specialty workshop) to ZSpot Card holders who present the card at the time of payment (not to be combined with any other coupons or gift certificates… sorry ladies!)

You can’t find these steals anywhere else! Aradia Fitness is bringing pole dancing for fitness to ladies in the Raleigh, Durham, Cary area at the prices you can afford.

Just because we love you

Are you ready to Meet Your Sexy Side?!

Pole dancing for fitness has been taking the nation by storm the last few years! It is surprisingly HUGE in the UK and Canada… I guess we Americans are a little behind the curve on this trend.

Now I’ll be honest, I was one of those women at first… the Negative Nancy who thought this was as insane an idea as Carmen Electra’s Aerobic Striptease. Of course, I was still coming into my womanhood at the time and had a hard time thinking of myself as “sexy”. That adjective was always reserved for the tall, skinny, perfectly-perfect golden-skinned goddesses that graced the covers of magazines and DVDs.

Now put yourself in my shoes for a minute.

Turn back the clock about oh, four years or so. You come home from college one weekend to see your mother raving about the latest episode of Oprah she just saw on TV. The one in which a pole dance for fitness instructor taught the queen of afternoon television how to shake her thang on a nine foot metal pole!

Stars above, but my mother was hooked from that moment on.

At the time, I never delved too much into why she was so incredibly intent on learning how to pole dance (I mean, this is my mother we’re talking about here! My mind refused to put “sexy” and “mom” together ) but I dare you to try and stop my mother from doing something once she’s put her mind to it. She practically grew up in her grandmother’s dance studio and competed in gymnastics throughout high school & college. The idea of this unique, new, and sexy form of fitness struck a cord within her… and even at 50 years old, my mom just knew she had a new calling in life.

Terri Kerr was bound and determined to bring pole dancing for fitness to North Carolina.

And in January 2007, she finally did.

My mother (Terri) became a part of a successful pole dancing fitness conglomerate called Aradia Fitness, which is based out of Canada. She flew up to Canada numerous time for classes and training before she opened the first Aradia Fitness studio in the United States. Right in here in Raleigh’s own backyard!

Since then, dear ole mommy has talked her wayward, skeptical daughter into helping with the business and successfully made a reformed woman out of me. Now I’m the one that wants to talk every woman I see into trying a pole dancing for fitness class out! I can’t believe that they don’t know what they are missing, because you gotta at least try it… just once!

Terri has since acquired a wonderful & vivacious group of instructors who each bring something unique to the women they teach. We’ve had hundreds & hundreds of women come through the studio doors, many shy & uncertain of what to expect when the enter… but its safe to say that 99% leave our doors with a bold new swish in their hips and a sparkle in their eye.

The thing that sets Aradia Fitness apart from other pole dancing for fitness studios, and even further apart from strip clubs, is the atmosphere we provide.

We strive to provide an environment that celebrates the female form and embraces the sensuality our bodies create in movement. We know that each and every female form is beautiful in its own way… we just have to get our students to see that in themselves.

Once you get there though, its quite the transformation.

So welcome to our humble blog. I hope you will follow along as we share the stories and news of the North Carolina division of Aradia Fitness. We are still thrilled to be sharing pole dancing for fitness with ladies in the Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill and Apex area… and we are excited about the possibilities of future expansion into Wilmington, Greensboro, Charlotte and beyond!

Stick with us ladies!
